Kathy was out picking grand daughters up from school so I went to bed for a nap. I asked her to wake me when she got home which was like pissing in the ocean. Didn’t wake up till 6PM.

05/10/25 – Saturday – Up at 8AM, breakfast and out to the Morton Building. Married off gas cans and made a run to get the empties filled. Home and organized the shop a little. Then replace the carburetor on the power washer. All is good with that. Changed the handle on the new lawn mower to suit the wife. Then inside for lunch. Back out with Kathy. She started mowing and I started to replace the carburetor on the chain saw. That didn’t go well so I went out and helped Kathy finish up the yard work. Inside and cleaned up. Down to the Chinese restaurant for dinner. Stop at Country Mart on the way home for some items. Home, put things away and some chores before bed.

Now the specifics:

I guess the biggest event was Kathy’s birthday on Thursday. I was out and about on Tuesday and had to work Wednesday and Thursday so I thought it was better to get her flowers two days prior to her birthday than one day late. So when I was at PT on Tuesday I went to the flower shop over there and picked up the arrangement I had ordered Monday. For what it cost I was a little disappointed. But it is what it is. She was happy. Even remembered to get Mother’s day cards when I was picking up her birthday card. Then after working 8 and 1/2 hours I came home, cleaned up, changed clothes and took her to Olive Garden for dinner with the Rice family. So I guess she was happy.

Busy schedule at work this week. Full days Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Next week should be a little easier.

Had PT Tuesday and Friday this week. Don’t think I’m going to make my objective of getting off the floor without helping myself with my hands. That’s OK, I can manage with that. At least I got a lot more strength in my legs. I should be able to make it this time.

Finally got time to get at the work in the shop. Got the carburetor changed on the power washer and it started on the first pull. The replacement carburetor for the chain saw is a little different than the original so I’m need to work on that a little more to get it going.

Well that’s about it for this week. As always, hope this finds you safe and healthy. Stay that way and I’ll blog at you again next week.
